If he's taking formula then start gradually reducing the formula volume by an ounce and replacing that ounce with cow's milk until the bottle is completely made of ciw's milk. Some people prefer to switch to the next formula though for another 6mths to keep up iron and then switch to cow's milk at 18mths. So that's another option.

i started with the evening milk as thats when they seemed most milk hungry. I also started with the 1/3cows milk/ 2/3 formula (ds) 2/3 EBM (expressed breast milk) (dd) at 5pm with tea so there was no pressure to take huge amounts initally and they had something familiar at 6.30pm
